Jesus: The Best Present Ever

Romans 5:17; 6:23; John 3:16 

The most dynamic aspect of Christmas is the exchange of gifts. Watching a small child giggle and smile as she gives gifts to others and rejoice as she opens hers will touch the heart of any parent. Giving is the essence of Christmas.

The primary reason for Christmas is to remember the birth of Jesus. Through Jesus, God’s abundant grace to us, we receive forgiveness and righteousness. Jesus’ life and sacrifice was the first "Christmas gift"; generosity began with Father God. Eternal life was the best gift ever given.

Prayer: “Father God, thank you for the gift of righteousness and eternal life. I want to share it with others.”
